I took these pictures last night for reference. They really make me laugh. She looks a little psychotic (and is nude to boot...I always strip them before we play indoors thinking it will keep her cooler and mean less panting), but she really does a number on herself!  She is my puppymill rescue, so the fact that she enjoys fetch as much as her sister makes me so happy that it's worth all the trouble of the end result! 
My girls yesterday morning looking normal... Attachment 319004

ETA: The claw clips work pretty well for me when they eat (raw). I'm also kind of a weirdo and like when their beards smell a tiny bit like coconut oil. Claw clips just never worked for playtime because she is shaking her ball (to kill it, of course!), and they go flying through the air. Maybe that would work when Max has a chewie? It definitely takes less time to pull back! |
GREAT pictures! Your girls are beautiful. I love that tongue shot!! AlaskaYorkie needs to do a tongue contest. Nothing better than seeing the doggies happy.
I'll have to dig out a shot of Max tied up with mini-scrunchies. He looks like a character out of a goofy horror movie. I never thought of trying claw clips -- thank you for the suggestion. That would be much faster and easier.
Thank goodness I don't have problems with Teddy's beard. His facial hair is magically impervious to everything.
